RE: Backup of NetApp filer to drive on backup server
With NDMP you're sending commands to the device telling it to back itself up which is why normally it's to a direct attached tape drive or library. You can get it to redirect the backup but that's to another NDMP device so if you had 2 NetApp devices you could have the tape drive only attached to one of them and the one without the drive could send its data to the other for backup using NDMP.

RE: Backup of NetApp filer to drive on backup server
We use EMC Networker running on Solaris to perform NDMP backups of NetApp 3070 and 3170 to a tape library. The library is managed by Networker. The same Networker also backs up other systems. Getting it all working was a chore, but we were able to utilize the tape drives for all systems and not just the NetApp. - Donovan -Original Message- From: Maglinger, Paul [mailto:pmaglin...@scvl.com] Sent: Friday, October 28, 2011 11:10 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Backup of NetApp filer to drive on backup server We have two backup solutions, Symantec Backup Exec and HP Data Protector.
